An absorption chiller is a machine that operates on thermodynamic principles to convert the solar thermal energy to air conditioning and refrigeration. Absorption chillers use a thermal compressor instead of a mechanical compressor. The system operates in three phases: evaporation, absorption and regeneration.  The first stage involves liquid form refrigerant evaporating low partial pressure surroundings, [...]

In designing a solar heating installation, the entire circuit must be tuned to the specific application and location. Some solar hot water systems have been designed for residential use, providing a household with solar thermal energy for the requirements of washing, cleaning, air conditioning, dehumidification, and not least of all, heating. Solar hot water installations [...]

Many people and companies want to benefit from solar power because it is free and it is environmentally responsible. A new company, SolarTron Energy Systems is working on a photovoltaic module that can give up to 4kW/hour of electricity at a solar radiation of 1000 w/m2. This module can be added to their existing solar [...]
